How To Plant a Story Seed

This little poem is linked to week 77 of Saturday Centus. The prompt is in bold. To read other little stories, just click here.




I clasped my hands loosely
Ah loosely…just so
It’s so hard not to clench them too tight
And I shut my eyes closely
Ah closely…just so
It’s so hard to not reach toward the light
In the quiet of this moment
In the quiet of the dark
I saved all the moments
I was sure to forget
I saved all the words
Even ones not said yet
I waited and waited until words outweighed need
Then I planted a little story seed
Will it grow?
I don’t know.
But I clasp my hands loosely
Ah loosely…just so.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
